The Sun has not been out here for 7 days and it has rained 6 out of the last 7. The weatherman says "There's a slight chance we'll see the sun on (guess which day) SUNDAY! I got this in todays emails.....
Forget Rednecks!... here's what Jeff Foxworthy has to
say on New Englanders:
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by
drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there
all day hoping it will swim by you might live in New
England.
If you're proud that your region makes the
national news 96 nights each year because Mt.
Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and
Boston gets more snow than any other major city in the
US, you live in New England.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September
through May, you live in New England.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six
months out of the year, you live in New England.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you
assistance, and they don't work there, you live in
New England.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same
time, you live in New England.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in
New England.

potholes are filled with snow.
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter,

deer next to your blue spruce.
